Bohol day tour
This was what our Bohol day tour comprised of. Since it’s summer, it was hot. I strongly advise to wear comfortable clothes (I wore sleeveless blouse and shorts) and shoes/sandals/flipflops.
1. Blood compact – fortunately, there was a japanese couple with a tour guide when we arrived. We were eavesdropping on the history being shared by the tour guide. I forgot it anyway. 
2. Baclayon Church – if you like old churches, this one’s for you. I love it. Plus a little “art” here:
There’s a museum but we opted not to check it.
3. Chocolate hills – don’t expect brown little hills like I did. hehehe. They are greenish.
4. Butterfly garden – this one’s really nice! the tour guide tells you of the butterfly life cycle, and types of butterflies among others. they’d let you hold of the butterflies (but they will die after you held them, we were told). Mikee fell in love with the place instantly coz she loves butterflies. If I visit Bohol again, I won’t mind visiting this place again. 
5. Hanging bridge – I didn’t cross it. I was too afraid to cross it. Hubby was supposed to cross it while carrying Mikee who was sleeping at that time. I backed out after 5 steps 
and told hubby that Mikee and I will just wait inside the van.
6. Loboc lunch / floating resto – This is a buffet lunch at P250. Too pricey don’t you think? There was no need to pay for Mikee though.
7. Tarsier – again, don’t expect to enter a forest to find the tarsiers like I did. They are residing on trees that are inside a souvenir store.
8. Bohol Python / mini-zoo – hmmm, I disliked it mainly because there’s someone there who performed and made the place look like a carnival.
9. Hinagdan Cave – Mikee stayed with her godmother outside while hubby and I checked the cave. It was my first time to enter a cave so I found it so cool!!! I wanted to get a rock there to keep as a souvenir. I was thinking I could polish it with rock tumblers. Then I changed my mind. As they say, take nothing but pictures.
There were birds flying at the top part which I first thought were bats. But the tour guide, who’s good in camera settings by the way, told us that they are birds. Well, I didn’t like the smell of the water. And we had to step on the water (up to ankle only) to go to the other part of the cave. But overall, I like the cave.

nakatipid kami kasi 10 adults lahat. so hati hati kami sa van transfer (from/to airport), sa day tour, etc.
breakdown:
plane tickets P1418 lang each kasi cebu pac promo yun. so kaming 3 total of P4254 lang.
nagdown kami for the cottage/house ng 2k. kasi 2k a night eh. may aircon, sya with 2 single beds. wala nga lang TV. total 4k for 3D/2N
van transfer – P700 yan for each transfer eh 10 adults kami so tig P140 lang per couple. times two kasi papuntang resort at pabalik ng airport.
basta, 10k pesos ang dala namin pagpunta namin sa Bohol ubos yun pero konti lang nabili namin na pasalubong. Most entrance walang bayad si Mikee eh, kahit dun sa Loboc lunch.
Parang ang total eh less than P17k lang
pero yun nga kasi madami kaming kahati sa mga transfers and day tour.

FYI 10-25 Php lang tricycle from airport to downtown Tagbilaran. labas lang nang konti sa kanto ng airport para hindi kayo sisingilin with airport prices
Napuntahan niyo yung *real* blood compact site? well hindi ganung ka-touristy yung lugar. hehe

hello..i was browsing through the internet looking for bohol day tours and i came across ur web page..anyways, i am a beginner in digital photography and i was quite amazed with that photo above taken in the church..I just bought a digital SLR camera, and i would really love to know how did you do that shot. Did you do some editing with it? how did you do the spotlighting? can you possibly show me how? thanks in advance!
Cheers!

hi antonette. that photo had no editing except for the resizing and the watermark. that church had that cathedral window that casts that colorful/rainbow light on that spot. you can achieve that shot (even using a point and shoot) by simply asking your subject to kneel where the light is casting.
